The Berry Islands stretch across 30 nautical miles of the northern Bahamas, a chain of cays where shallow turquoise flats meet deep-water passages and virtually no crowds. Overmarine builds the Mangusta range, Italian performance motor yachts defined by their planing hulls, aggressive exterior lines, and open sea decks. In the Bahamas, that combination translates into fast transits between cays and a sun-drenched deck platform suited to the climate.
The Mangusta fleet available in the Bahamas spans roughly 40 to 50 metres, carrying four to six guest cabins, a crew of eight to ten, and the kind of shallow draft that allows anchoring close to beaches that larger displacement yachts cannot reach. Interiors balance Italian design confidence with practical charter layouts, and each yacht carries a full complement of watertoys.
Weekly rates for Overmarine charters in the Bahamas run from 225,000 to 295,000 euros per week before the advance provisioning allowance, which covers fuel, food and marina fees. The Bahamas does not add VAT on charter, making it one of the more cost-efficient destinations for this class of yacht.
The Berry Islands reward the speed that Mangusta yachts offer. Great Harbour Cay provides the only proper marina and a useful provisioning stop; Chub Cay to the south sits on the edge of the Tongue of the Ocean and is regarded as among the finest blue-water fishing locations in the Caribbean basin. Frozen Cay, Bird Cay, and the uninhabited cays around Bullocks Harbour offer snorkelling and silence in equal measure.
